15 days of #100DaysofCode for a complete Noob - Have I achieved anything relevant?

Nadine M. Thêry on June 12, 2019

I have just read the post about Advice for people who changes career after their 30s. And I must I say it encouraged me to write my first post here...

What you've done so far is incredible. It took me a month to create a simple carousel at the inception of my dev tuition (Although at the time i didn't even know sites like freecodecamp existed). Keep learning by working on real projects. That way you are incited to make research about some design patterns that could help you scale through problems. Wish you d best of luck in your tremendous learning journey

Excellent progress, keep going!

FYI: your codepen dashboard link leads to my own one. codepen.io/nanythery/ is the one you may want to use.

Also some ways to think about refining work etc, can you do the lightbulb without JS? (html checkbox button and css pseudo classes)

Thanks a lot for going throught the whole article. I have just corrected the URL for Codepen!

I will write down the suggestion about the bulb for next project. I was focusing on getting some CSS and HTML basic knowledge asap. And now I do want to focus on Javascript.

I will keep you posted :D

Hola, you are doing very well already Nadine. You are going fast.

Keep making things. Make lots & lots. Make hard things. Make real things. Build your portfolio. Get traffic (it makes you make things differently).

Congrats & good luck. 👍

Like you, I too am teaching myself. The fear is 100% natural, and you're not alone. Not only do self-learned people feel this way but people who have been in the field for years, even tens of years. Just keeping pushing through and remember the struggle is part of the process.

All that being said, you have accomplished a lot in the short time you have been learning, just think what you can do with more experience.

First off, for real, what you've already done in 15 days is fantastic! Especially the fact that you attended an event, that's a super valuable way to meet people, get involved with the community (if you want to, you can also just have fun for a day and that's fine 😎), and stay excited about the journey!

DEV is a great place to be, and I hope you stick around and keep showing us what you've been up to! Your portfolio site is gorgeous, by the way; it's motivating me to go update my own haha!
